- it is up to immigration to determine if you are living here on visa exempt or not. Instead of focusing on a friend getting lucky, if you are trying to live here, go for the correct visa that allows you to live here.

What could be the reasons for my Thailand DTV visa rejections after an education visa?

@Michał **********

- Most agencies that help with your application are helping you gather the right documents. However, it sounds like you went with an agency that might have just made up documents. This is probably the issue . Now that you have been rejected twice, it will be very difficult to get approval

What do you mean by “sports category”? Do you mean soft power? If so, what soft power? Muay Thai? Also, what do you mean by second time via “proof of funds” category. All categories require proof of funds. Do you mean remote work?

- How many days have you been in Thailand in 2025? It is less about the border and now about the amount of time. I just shared the first post I saw, but there are tons others. Not here to argue with you about it.

seems that all entries are strict right now. If you are abusing the visa exempt process or too many tourist visas, it might be time to get a longer-term visa

@Michael *******

unfortunately, right now there is a crackdown. I would stay away from land entries. Those are even riskier

What visa should I apply for if I want to stay in Thailand for just 60 days?

John *******

Just to clarify, “e-visa” just means you apply for the visa online. Since all visas now need to be applied for online, all visas from tourist to retirement are “e-visas”. Therefore, if the embassy told you you apply for an e-visa, they really gave no advice on which one to apply for.

How can I cancel my METV if the issuing embassy refuses to do so?

John *******

Only the issuing embassy can cancel the visa. It seems to be very hard/almost impossible to do. I assume if any others were successful, it was because they had a different issuing embassy than you. How much time do you have left on your METV?
